NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has said that deliveries of U.S.-made PAC-3 interceptor missiles to Ukraine are continuing ” each day and each week.”

He announced this at a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv on Wednesday, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

Rutte noted that PAC-3 interceptor missiles are extremely important for air defense and that “you always want the overall volume to be bigger than it is.”

“The good news is that the flow of these crucial interceptors continues from the United States to Ukraine continues each day and each week,” Rutte said.

He added that funding for the purchase of these missiles is available and that many allies have already expressed their readiness to continue allocating the necessary funds.

According to Rutte, there is always a risk that intensive combat operations could affect existing stocks of interceptor missiles.

“This is not having an immediate impact on PURL now. Maybe somewhere in the future, but not now. We are doing everything to make sure the production is ramped up, to make sure that whatever we still have in our stocks in Europe and the U.S. we are able to supply, and where we can find new ways of defending ourselves – and Ukraine is taking the initiative here together with its European allies and our allies all over the NATO alliance. We will do it,” Rutte said.

As reported, President Zelensky recently sent an urgent letter to U.S. President Donald Trump and U.S. Congress regarding a critical shortage of air defense assets.
